- England international has been Cityzens’ star performer as they seek fourth consecutive title
- Cole Palmer was handed Young Player of the Season award on Friday
Phil Foden has won the 2023/24 Premier League Player of the Season award thanks to his glistening performances for Manchester City.
The Cityzens can win an unprecedented fourth English title in a row if they beat West Ham United on Sunday, with England international Foden proving a key performer with 25 goals in all competitions, 17 of which have arrived in the top flight.
It’s another individual award for the 23-year-old, who was named the 20224 FWA Footballer of the year earlier in May while Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw won the women’s equivalent.
“To win this award is an achievement that I am extremely proud of,” Foden said.
“The Premier League is acknowledged as the greatest league in the world, and it is a pleasure to have been nominated with so many other great players who have all enjoyed special seasons for their clubs.”
Foden saw off competition from Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Virgil van Dijk, Ollie Watkins and Cole Palmer, who scooped the premier Laegue’s Young player of the season.
“Overall, I’ve been very happy with the way I have played this season and really pleased that I have been able to contribute with the goals and assists throughout the season.
“I’d like to thank all of the City staff, coaches and especially my teammates because without them this wouldn’t be possible.
“And I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who voted for me as the award means a lot.”
